    Ooooooh noooooooo,

    cant use if on heart meds or have heart disease.

    Ah well, better find a nice German man ;) (ha, what a laugh, incapable of finding any man, full stop)

    Or, try the helpline :rolleyes: and find out why.

    Why heart meds, not why i cant get a man;)

    OK, fine - I've texted him and we're meeting for a drink in a couple of hours (enough time for a lovely bath etc).

    So today's menu was:
    - 2 Quorn sausages, 1 fried egg and lotsa mushrooms
    - Mixed cheeses, packet of chilli peanuts
    - Tofu-coconut "pudding"
    - 2 squares of dark Lindt chocolate

    I'm going to stay off the booze again tonight, a lovely cup of tea sounds like just the job...

    Hello peeps :wave:

    I bought one of the new Boots Smooth Skin jobs (£250 that I really couldn't afford :o. )

    Got as far as putting it in my basket (online), logging in, putting promotion code in (500 extra points) & then I chickened out!!

    Just can't justify spending £250!! :(

    Due to get major work done on the house in the next couple of months so, there, I've talked myself out of it!!

    Another one remaining in the 'hairy brigade' :rolleyes: At least I know I'd be welcome in Germany :rotfl:

    Off to pretend to do some housework. We now have two nice blinds up in the kitchen and a rather frazzled husband. I'll be cooking something eggy to make up for the carb fest yesterday. I'm sure those carbs didn't count anyway coz i ate them quickly, they didn't even touch the sides.
    Have a nice evening Badger, and the rest of you lot. x
